CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 113 Please give me a skill enhancement voucher! I'm begging you!

Chapter 113 Please give me a skill enhancement voucher! I'm begging you!
The last day of the month.

Jiang Yuanming set off for Xingcheng ahead of schedule.

This morning.

Xu Yujing is reporting to Lu Yiming about the information regarding the first live-streaming sales event tomorrow.

After she finished her report.

Lu Yiming nodded and said, "You did a great job! I'm very confident in entrusting this project to you! From today onwards, you don't need to report these details to me every day. Just submit a report every month. I've already arranged for Attorney Cao to spin off this business from the company into a subsidiary, and you'll be the general manager. The corresponding bonus and incentive plan is also being prepared."

Lu Yiming is getting better and better at making empty promises.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yujing nodded her thanks with great excitement.

After watching her leave.

The moment the door closed.

Lu Yiming also breathed a sigh of relief.

The entire latter half of April.

Lu Yiming is gradually delegating power.

By offering encouragement and praise to Zheng Huacai and Xu Yujing, and by asking questions but interfering less in relevant matters, he gradually and subtly made the two of them believe that he trusted them more.

Lu Yiming felt that this process could continue for another half month or so before he could completely let the two of them do it.

of course.

It's not that we completely ignore it.

Cao Siyun would report on the company's situation to me.

As a third-party legal advisor.

She is only responsible to Lu Yiming.

He glanced at the time on the computer.

He immediately got up and went to the mirror in the corner of the room to straighten his clothes.

Then I looked at myself in the mirror.

Lu Yiming murmured softly, "Let's try to get completely free from these official duties starting next month!"

The idea of being a hands-off manager.

Lu Yiming became more and more determined.

Even if it involves some risks, he felt it was imperative.

Jiang Yuanming arrived at Lu Yiming's company before noon.

After the receptionist asked for his name, she led him directly to Lu Yiming's office.

Later, after meeting Lu Yiming in person.

He was inwardly exclaiming how young he was.

Lu Yiming was also quite enthusiastic.

She stood up and gestured towards the seat in front of his desk, saying, "You must be tired from your journey! Please have a seat!"

Jiang Yuanming came with his luggage.

Everything is placed at the front desk.

He had traveled through the city to get here, and to be honest, he felt this place was a bit out of the way.

But it's a startup company.

He understands the importance of spending money wisely.

The two have communicated privately many times.

Although it was our first meeting, we quickly became acquainted.

The contract was subsequently signed.

At noon, Lu Yiming found a hotel to welcome him back.

Besides Fu Xiaoli, Liu Zhenyun was also with them.

Liu Zhenyun was therefore listed as a person with poor credit.

The rest of his business.

Lu Yiming helped him contact Zhang Wei's law firm for assistance.

As for those brothers he mentioned.

In fact, those who were willing to stick to their posts and silently support Pangu Intelligent Technology during its most difficult period are also the core developers responsible for the AI Listening system.

These people arrived the day after he arrived, and Lu Yiming arranged accommodation for them in an apartment next to the park.

That's why I invited him along.

The main purpose was to introduce the AI-powered listening device to Jiang Yuanming.

Artificial intelligence listening?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanming immediately became very interested.

He has a technical background.

Artificial intelligence is currently a very hot topic.

I was already surprised that Lu Yiming was a live streamer, but I never expected that he could also set up such a high-end project.

At this moment, Liu Zhenyun no longer felt the gloom he had a few days ago.

At Lu Yiming's instruction.

He began by explaining to Jiang Yuanming, "The AI-powered 'Listening' system is an intelligent algorithm developed based on a firewall prototype; it serves a protective function."

To put it simply, it's similar to antivirus software.

However, it is a level above antivirus software.

Antivirus software scans files on a computer by using virus data stored in its database.

AI-powered listening directly protects files.

It's like the difference between magic resistance and magic immunity.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanming's eyes darkened.

He immediately said, "Wouldn't that be the same as a Bad Ending?"

BE is currently one of the more powerful anti-cheating filters on the market.

It is also a representative of proactive defense type anti-cheating software.

The system will directly scan the files on the computer's memory and the game's hard drive, which can prevent suspicious programs from modifying the game's local files.

However, there is a way to bypass it; you can simply disguise yourself as another program to bypass the detection.

At the same time, the probability of wrongful blocking is also very high.

The current PUBG uses the BE anti-cheat tool.

The reason Jiang Yuanming's eyes darkened was mainly because this "strongest" was actually just a silver spear with a wax head, and its actual use was only slightly better than nothing.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhenyun shook his head and said, "They are different! They are not the same thing at all. Diting can eliminate most of the types of plug-ins on the market from the root. The only drawback at present is that the algorithm is not optimized enough and cannot be widely used. I have tested it with President Lu and found dozens of mainstream plug-ins on the market, and Diting blocked them all."

Running the Diting requires sufficient local computing power.

The latest graphics card on the market is the 2080 Ti.
Two are needed to keep it running.

This is after optimization.

Jiang Yuanming hadn't expected that it would be ready for initial use.

Liu Zhenyun looked at Lu Yiming beside him and received a nod of approval from him.

He immediately took out his laptop.

Show Jiang Yuanming the full video recording of their testing process from a few days ago.

It was only after seeing it for myself that I realized it.

Jiang Yuanming looked at Liu Zhenyun with a burning gaze and asked, "Is there a way to continue optimizing it?"

Why do FPS games experience periods of popularity followed by periods of decline?
The core reason is cheating software. When a game is popular, cheating software is rampant. If it cannot be stopped in time, it will naturally lead to a gradual loss of players.

It will just be another cycle going on.

FPS games require a huge amount of computation; the position of each person and item on the map, the trajectory of bullets, and so on all need to be calculated in real time.

If such a massive amount of computation were to be performed on a server, it would crash.

Therefore, the FPS is calculated locally, and then the calculated results are uploaded to the server.

It can be said that this applies to games where data calculations are performed locally.

It can then be read and tampered with.

The ultimate solution is to put the computing in the cloud.

However, the problems that the cloud currently cannot solve are cost and latency.

Diting can be seen as a local cloud platform, eliminating the possibility of game files being modified.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhenyun said in a deep voice, "We have already started trying to update the algorithm. If we are only focusing on making breakthroughs in CS:GO, I think we will make progress very soon."

The purpose of developing Diting is not to prevent cheating.

Initially, Liu Zhenyun planned to develop a revolutionary computer protection software.

However, after Lu Yiming's reminder...

He then realized that Diting could be used in this way. Driven by his overflowing gratitude, he started making targeted modifications to Diting overnight. After other developers came over, Diting's functions were completely transformed into anti-cheat software in less than two days.

It's like that blue pill that was initially used to treat heart disease, but it turned out to be completely ineffective.

But then, unexpectedly, it was discovered.

It possesses dominance-level capabilities in its specific areas.
The two talked for a long time.

The food remained untouched.

Until I clearly felt hungry.

Jiang Yuanming then realized that he seemed to have overlooked Lu Yiming.

Just as he was about to turn around and apologize to his new boss.

I saw the two of them whispering sweet nothings to each other.

Suddenly, I realized that whether I ate or not didn't seem to matter anymore.

He immediately turned around and continued talking to Liu Zhenyun about technical issues.

The meal lasted for more than two hours before it ended.

After learning about the abilities of the Listening Beast, Jiang Yuanming understood why Lu Yiming was so confident. Although it couldn't be practically used at the moment, at least he had a trump card.

Technology is a difficult thing to define.

Maybe one day I'll suddenly break through.

Once the Diting (谛听) reaches the standard for widespread use, the impact of announcing the news will be no less than the impact of the blue pill (蓝小丸) when it was launched on the market.

After returning to the company.

Fu Xiaoli went straight home.

Lu Yiming and the two men arrived at his office.

At the same time, Cao Siyun was summoned.

Lu Yiming first looked at Jiang Yuanming and said, "Attorney Cao will take you to see the company later. You can decide for yourself what else you need. I have no other requests, I just hope to see the platform launched before October!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuanming nodded.

They had discussed this before.

Lu Yiming had already said that he would give him a lot of power, which made him feel trusted.

At this moment, he confidently said, "President Lu, don't worry! We'll start developing the platform as soon as the staff arrives, and it should be online around August if all goes well!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded in satisfaction.

Then, looking at Liu Zhenyun, he said, "You're in the same boat. You'll still have complete control over the company. I've asked Attorney Cao to assign you an assistant. From now on, you can focus on research and development. Leave the trivial matters to your assistant."

Say something.

Lu Yiming suspected that this Di Ting came from the power of the system.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why it's so suitable for anti-cheat measures, yet Liu Zhenyun is still in such a sorry state.

Regardless of whether it's the power of the system.

Lu Yiming didn't want to delve into anything further.

After all, this is a good thing for him.

Just enjoy it quietly.

At this moment, Lu Yiming's gaze was fixed on Cao Siyun.

As a lawyer seconded from Zhang Wei's law firm, Lu Yiming doesn't need to pay her a salary. However, he can give her a bonus.

“You’ve been carrying a lot of responsibilities lately. I’ve already informed the finance department to give you an extra 30,000 yuan bonus each month as a subsidy. If the firm deducts any of it, remember to let me know! I’ll make up the difference to you personally!”

Lu Yiming believed she was a smart person and would understand what he meant.

Starting next month.

Lu Yiming has a total of four projects underway.

Zheng Huacai was in charge of the live streaming project, Xu Yujing was in charge of the e-commerce project, Liu Zhenyun was in charge of the Diting project, and Jiang Yuanming was in charge of the game platform project.

Lu Yiming split all four projects into four companies.

The purpose is also to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket.

Cao Siyun was his eyes and ears in these four companies.

Upon hearing this, Cao Siyun's lips curled up in a smile.

He then thanked her softly.

I watched the three of them leave.

Lu Yiming leaned back and looked at the ceiling.

Before his rebirth, he was not exactly a good-for-nothing, but at least an ordinary person who had failed.

His rebirth brought about tremendous changes.

He was removed from the ranks of the masses who could only watch the play from below the stage.

They had the opportunity to stand on the stage.

At that moment, he reached out, trying to grab something.

His gaze was fixed on his clenched fist, which he held high in the sky. He said softly, "Set a small goal! First, earn a billion!"

May 1st is a Wednesday.

We have a four-day holiday starting on Saturday.

Xu Yujing was extremely busy on the 1st.

She had too many things to handle on the first day of her live stream.

Lu Yiming's vision for the live-streaming room is not the currently popular influencer-driven sales model.

It's a 24/7 live-streaming marketplace.

A total of ten live streamers were trained, with two people assigned to each group. The four groups took turns live streaming for six hours a day, and the group that was free was given a day off.

These five groups are able to manage to do four days of live streaming and one day of rest.

The products include a wide range of categories such as daily necessities, electronic products, and food.

There are as many as forty-six items in total.

All of these deals were negotiated by Xu Yujing.

The live stream started at noon.

Lu Yiming started his broadcast in the evening that day.

After the broadcast started, the comments section was filled with discussions about his store's live stream.

I ordered a pork floss pastry! The price wasn't too bad, I hope it tastes good!

[I just ran out of toilet paper, so I ordered some because I saw the great discounts in Mr. Lu's live stream. Mr. Lu's prices seem so low, is he really making any money?]

I searched for the same brand of toilet paper, but couldn't find it on Pinduoduo or Taobao. However, for the same price, Mr. Lu's was slightly cheaper.

【.】

The viewers were quite supportive.

However, support today does not mean it will be supported in the future.

After giving out a bunch of red envelopes, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Thank you all for your support today! But let's still consume rationally~ If you need something and my shop happens to have it, then compare the prices and see which one is more suitable before placing an order."

Lu Yiming's words came from the bottom of his heart.

His vision for the store wasn't to just make a quick sale.

It's meant to be operated long-term.

Lu Yiming didn't even set any targets for Xu Yujing.

If this live-streaming e-commerce room can break even in its first year, that would be considered very good.

In the early stages, gradually build up your reputation.

When 5G becomes widespread.

That's where the real opportunity for live-streaming e-commerce lies.

At most, it can help Lu Yiming monetize some of the traffic.

Just as Lu Yiming had predicted.

The next day, Xu Yujing brought in the earnings from yesterday's live stream.

"We invested a total of three million in marketing and promotion, and as of midnight yesterday, we had only sold five million worth of goods."

Xu Yujing couldn't continue speaking.

Lu Yiming has very low requirements for gross profit margin, which is why the prices in the live stream are so cheap.

Their gross profit margin is only 15 percent for five million.

That means that the 3 million yuan in marketing and promotion only earned 750,000 yuan.

This was a huge loss.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming didn't think so.

He looked at Xu Yujing and asked, "What are the company's operating costs per month?"

At this time, the live-streaming sales room operated by Xu Yujing had been separated from the original company, but the new venue is still under renovation.

Labor costs in Xingcheng are not high.

Ten live streamers plus operations staff.

Including her, it's a team of twenty people.

Her salary wasn't included.

The monthly salary of 20 people, plus social security and other benefits, is 150,000 yuan.

The warehouse packing is handled by twelve people.

Because there are manual laborers here, the wages are much higher. The wages of twelve people plus social security amount to 200,000.

The remaining miscellaneous expenses plus her salary.

It's estimated to be around 150,000.

Upon hearing this, he replied directly: "Expenses such as warehouse space and labor costs amount to 500,000 per month, and the promotion of operating the live streaming room also requires 500,000 per month!"

Douyin live streams don't get traffic if you don't pay.

Five hundred thousand a month is already considered the minimum cost of living.

Just like yesterday, the live stream burned through 500,000 yuan in one day. It did bring in more than a million new viewers, but the number of people who stayed was quite small, and the percentage of those who spent money was even lower.

For Xu Yujing, live-streaming e-commerce is a completely new field.

She didn't know if Lu Yiming would be satisfied with her answer sheet from yesterday.

at this time.

Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Let's proceed step by step like this! I'm very satisfied with this data! From now on, it's just a matter of steady progress. Report back to me on the overall situation next month!"

This attitude relieved Xu Yujing.

He then left Lu Yiming's office.

Lu Yiming watched her leave.

Looking at the report in his hand, he smiled and said, "More than five million? That is indeed a little lower than I expected, but everything is difficult at the beginning, and this is not a bad start."

Lu Yiming was still very open-minded.

I didn't expect my project to become a huge hit from the start.

In fact, there is no possibility of live-streaming e-commerce becoming wildly popular at present.

It wasn't until this year's Double Eleven that live-streaming e-commerce started to gradually improve.

His achievement of five million.

This is enough to amaze peers across the internet.

after all.

This is a time when 5G hasn't even started to become widespread yet!

Lu Yiming's live-streaming sales room became a minor hit for a few days at the beginning of the month.

It will only take a few days.

As the number of viewers increased, the average number of people watching the live stream was only a few thousand.

After all, the daily traffic target is only 16,000 yuan, and these few thousand people are just the result of Lu Yiming's online traffic.

This morning.

Lu Yiming is preparing to move to the new house.

All the furniture over there is brand new.

The two of them just need to pack their personal belongings.

Before leaving, I saw the lingering look on Fu Xiaoli's face.

Lu Yiming held her hand and smiled, "What? You've developed feelings for this place?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoli shook her head.

Looking up at Lu Yiming with a light smile, she said, "No need! Wherever you are, that's where my home is!"

The new house is very big.

The problem was so big that Fu Xiaoli was worried about how to clean the house.

The previous house was only a few dozen square meters.

She gets so tired after cleaning just once.

Not to mention this 700-square-meter villa.

That night, she hugged Lu Yiming in bed and expressed her worries.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "How could I let you do the cleaning! I've already contacted a professional cleaning team, and they'll come regularly to clean. You just need to take care of your little corner of the kitchen!"

The kitchen is open-plan.

Moreover, it is suitable for both Chinese and Western use.

The two had visited the kitchen several times before moving in, and Fu Xiaoli's love for it was palpable.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoli wanted to say that it was a waste of money.

But considering that Lu Yiming probably wouldn't like her answer, she reluctantly accepted the arrangement.

The first day of moving into the new house.

The two of them were unable to fall asleep for a long time.

The room is huge.

The beds are all custom-made, three meters long.

Moreover, it's a mattress with a massage function.

Lu Yiming tested it for an hour and silently gave the feature a thumbs up in his heart.

As for Fu Xiaoli...
